Adults:
Fenticonazole vaginal cream is applied intravaginally. For adults, one applicator full (about 5 gm) is administered into the vagina in the morning and evening for three days. After each application, clean the applicator carefully with warm water and soap. Do not use water hotter than 50°C or use solvents. Then wipe the applicator dry and store it in its packet. Always wash your hands with mild soap and warm water afterwards. Fenticonazole cream is not greasy and can easily be removed with water. For the fenticonazole vaginal tablet, in cases of trichomonas or mixed infections (trichomonas and Candida albicans), one 600 mg VT is given, followed by a second VT 24 hours later if necessary. For Candida albicans infections, a single 600 mg VT is given in the evening, and if symptoms persist, a second VT may be given after three days. The VT must be introduced deep into the vagina and pushed well up to the fornix. To avoid re-infection, it is recommended that the partner undergo concurrent treatment with fenticonazole cream or a similar azole cream.
Side Effects
Occasional, mild, transient burning may follow intravaginal use, though it usually fades quickly. Sensitisation reactions can develop if the medicine is applied topically for a long time. Fentigal VT is generally well tolerated by the mucous membranes; mild, transient redness has only very rarely been reported. A slight burning sensation may also occur after topical application or intravaginal use, usually settling soon after. If irritation persists or a resistant micro-organism develops, treatment should be stopped and a doctor consulted. Because Fentigal VT is poorly absorbed, it should not cause systemic effects, provided these instructions are followed carefully.
